Waterfront Villa with stunning view and direct access to the beach providing ideal solution for groups of up to 12 people willing to spend relaxing holiday at beautiful Lake Como. Highly recommended as well for watersport lovers and foodies!

The Front Lake VIlla has been renovated in 2014 and consists of two separate apartments with direct access to the lake beach and an astonishing view over Como Lake and surrounding mountains.
Both apartments have two bedrooms, one kitchen, one bathroom and spacious living room with sofa bed and tv satellite with multilingual channels. First floor apartment has 1 bedroom with double bed, 1 bedroom with 1 and 1/2 bed and a sofa bed with 2 single mattresses in the living room. It also offers you two beautiful balconies with stunning view on the lake. The ground floor apartment, which is slightly larger than the one above, offers 2 bedrooms with double bed (in the second room you can opt for 2 single beds instead of double) and a sofa bed for 2 in the living room, furthermore the entrance is on a large terrace where you can chill out and have great breakfast with lake view!
This charming property has been furnished using ancient furniture mixed together with modern design items aiming to meet the expectations of a sophisticated and demanding international audience. Both apartments' bathrooms are equipped with Teuco multifunction showers offering our guests the opportunity to relax using either turkish bath or hydro massage and aromatherapy.
Furthermore, Villa Dolce Vita is surrounded by a spacious garden with private access to the beach and a lake view terrace ideal for warming up your day enjoying a tasty breakfast. If you intend to come by car we have a private parking where up to seven cars will find space.
We suggest you to come by car because even if you can find restaurants, bars, groceries shops on a walking distance, having a car will definitely give you a much broader range of options resulting on a more pleasant stay and a deeper disclosure of the beautiful surroundings we have at Lake Como. Indeed, is not a case if George Clooney and Richard Branson respectively have two wonderful villas here.
Important Info:
The house is near the main road however rooms are soundproof and situated on the opposite side of the road, so there are no problems for sleeping.
On top of the apartments there is another one where we spend time
with my family, however we always leave all the garden and public space to guests and our presence is very discrete and we interact only if appreciated by the guests.
A bit more about the area:
Lake Como is a top visited destination in Italy thanks to its breathtaking landscapes, mountains and mild climate that attracts aristocrats and wealthy retreated since Ancient Roman time. The area is particularly appreciated by sailing sports lover thanks to the steady breezes that are blowing the region as well as for trekking and long walks through the ancient and picturesque hamlets located along the lake shores.
As I was born in the area I will be happy to show you all the places of interests, activities and festivals that are taking place in the region.
Here is a list of "must see" locations in the surrounding area:
Villa Balbianello (Location of these movies Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the clones, A Month by the lake and Casino Royale)
Villa Carlotta (Beautiful villa that hosted the french writer Stendhal, who recalled this visit in "La Chartreuse de Parme")
Isola Comacina (The only island of Lake Como which has few important buildings from famour Rationalist architect Terragni)
VIlla Serbelloni (Amazing Villa hosting the Rockfeller Foundation Bellagio Center which welcomed nobel prizes and researchers)
Valtellina (Beautiful alpine valley, well know for delicious food, wines, skying, SPA and beautiful trekking spots)
Villa Oleandra (George Clooney's front lake villa which made Lake Como even more popular then it was)
Como City center (A must see if you like art, shopping or just a walk surrounded by beautiful historical buildings)
Acquafraggia Waterfalls (Beautiful waterfalls which impressed Leonardo during one of his trip to Lombardy)
Bellagio (One of the most prominent hamlet of Lake Como, so popular among americans that a Casino in Vegas has been named after it)
Varenna (Another beautiful picturesque hamlet where you can relax and drink a glass of wine admiring Bellagio peninsula)
Menaggio (Little town with a beautiful historical center and astonishing view over Lake Como from the highest part of the town)
Mussolini's Execution wall as well as the place where he was arrested by partisans are both very close to the Villa
After having spent many years abroad as an expat I can speak in italian, english, french, portuguese and elementary polish.
Sincerely,
Alessandro

We have one of the best restaurant of the area at walking distance, furthermore there are other bars, pizzeria and restaurants within 15 minutes walking, which by the way is by the Lake on a charming walkpath that goes along the lake coast.

Alessandro and his family were very helpful and friendly, advicing us about things to do and helping us book activities already before we arrived and when we were staying at the Villa. Alessandro is good company to spend some time with as well! The scenery is wonderful and the apartments were good, nice and tidy. Easy to find too with the given directions. All in all a very pleasant stay. Thanks again!

Tomi2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

Sina-Desiree2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Martin2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

We had the most incredible stay here with the Barba family. Alessandro and his family were so welcoming and warm and made our stay extra special! Their home is beautiful with the most magnificent views! They go out of their way to help you in any way they can. Thank you so much for hosting our family during our trip to Como! I am not easily impressed and must say that staying here has made our vacation so much more memorable! Grazie Mille!

Tessie2016-06-11T00:00:00Z

The photos were accurate and the place is adjacent to Lake Como. Within a few steps, you are on a stone path next to the lake which leads to restaurants The only problem is trying to locate the villa if you are coming from the north. If you don't know the area, if is very difficult to negotiate the turn to the villa. Coming from the south, there is no problem if you follow the Alessandro's directions with the photos which show landmarks. The apartments are on two separate floors and the family lives on the top two floors. When we arrived, it was raining the Alessandro's mother baked a wonderful Apple Strudel. It was the best we had on the entire trip. (I think she felt sorry, but it was the highlight of the stay.

robert2015-10-07T00:00:00Z

The perfect place for our group of 8 people to stay and explore Lake Como. Worked really well for a large group of friends. Beautiful and modern apartments, recently renovated with easy access to the lake. Very friendly and helpful service from Alessandro and his family, they went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for us. We had the best time and I thoroughly recommend Dolce Vita. Hope to have the opportunity to return some time.

It's amazing location is close to boat access to Bellagio, renting a boat yourself, cycling, but also just having a stroll around the amazing garden that this house has as well. We stayed with our two kids and they enjoyed especially the large garden and the amazing bath. The style of the house makes you feel like you haved lived there already for years !! We loved the Italian interior design. All together our best house from Airbnb so far.

charlotte2016-05-17T00:00:00Z

Excellent apartment, which occupies an entire floor of a manor house, and could easily accommodate two families. The interior is traditional with modern facilities - very neat and comfortable. Big terrace - nice for having breakfast on open air. Huge and very nice garden. Corinna and Marlena (the housekeeper) did everything to make our stay pleasant. Many thanks!

Dmitry2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed in this beautiful flat for two weeks. It is right next to the little town square but feels completely private once you are inside the gates. This property is absolutely stunning, just as it appears in the photographs. The large, open room is both cozy and spacious. The decor is elegant and fun. The high ceilings and many windows make the main room a truly lovely place to be. It felt like a storybook paradise with the beautiful garden grounds surounding the house. The main bedroom was lovely and bright. We did not need the other two bedrooms but they were also very nice. The mattress was comfortable without being too hard or too soft. Marlena, who lives downstairs, was always so kind and helpful when we needed anything. There are two very sweet dogs who greeted us every morn and every evening. The owners are easy going and were lovely to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again!

Christina & Joel2016-11-05T00:00:00Z

Well, what can I say. Let me start with the Pros: - We haven't met Corinna, the landlord, but the Email communication with her was perfect. Instead of her we met Marlena, the housekeeper and she did everything imaginable to make us feel welcome. - The property is absolutely overwhelming. The garden is huge and simply beautiful an the house offers everything you need. - There are two dogs on the property. They are old, insanely cute and only a bit noisy when other dogs passing the property. - The welcome cake Marlena has baked for us was delicious. Ok, there are few Cons: - It was incredible hot in the apartment. But don't worry, Corinna told me, that she already got an A/C for the next guests. - So the only slightly negative thing is, that the property is located next to the main street and that it can get loud during the evening, but if you have an A/C, this isn't a problem anymore. All in all i can totaly recommend this stay, landlord and housekeeper. Thanks Corinna and Marlena

Sebastian2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful family, home, area and atmosphere! My Husband and I would strongly recommend staying here at Corinna/ her Brother's family home. Marlena, the lovely housekeeper was always there to help, the dogs are super friendly, the garden is amazing, the area is very peaceful and authentic Italian and the hosts are charming. Great experience!

The house of Anastasia is just great! It offers enough space for six to eight people and the view from the balcony is unpayable! Fantastic! The house was very clean and the area where it is situated, is really nice, with olive trees and spices in the garden. We would definitely go there again! Thank you very much Anastasia!

Authentic front lake property (you can almost touch the water from the balcony), recently renovated, located within a well maintained garden with direct access to the lake beach.

Sylvia Apartment is located at the first floor of the villa and benefits of a beautiful panoramic view over the lake and mountains that surrounds this area.
It is composed by a large living room with sofa bed, table, cupboard and a cozy balcony to enjoy the view while having a typical italian meal cooked in a spacious fully equipped kitchen.
The other frontlake balcony is enriching the main bedroom which has a comfortable king size bed and wardrobe. The second bedroom is smaller and contains a single bed with a beautiful view on Valtellina's Alps and the norther part of Lake Como.
The apartment bathroom is equipped with Teuco multifunction showers offering our guests the benefit of hammam, hydro massage and aromatherapy all in one place.
Furthermore the Villa is surrounded by a spacious garden with private access to the beach and a lake view terrace ideal for warming up your day enjoying italian breakfast. If you intend to come by car we have a private parking where up to seven cars can find space.
We actually suggest you to come by car because even if you can find restaurants, pizzeria, bars, groceries shops on a walking distance, having a car will definitely give you a much broader range of options resulting on a more pleasant stay and a much better discover of the beautiful features of our Lake. Indeed is not a case if George Clooney and Richard Branson respectively have two wonderful villas on this region.

Just few meters from the Lake with a wonderful panoramic view...

We made our booking late in the afternoon the day before our arrival. Alessandro was quick with his response. We didn't meet him as he was in Berlin at the time, but his parents welcomed us. They are both wonderful and warm people. The villa is situated 20 meters from the lake and the apartment is very nice, spacious, newly refurbished and cosy. But the real highlight is the view from the balcony, with sun rising above the snowy mountain peaks across the lake, it is simply stunning. One can hardly imagine better way for waking up other than coffee with such a view. No wonder some of Casino Royale 007 filming took place on Lake Como. Wi-fi was fast and stable, the kitchen is spacious and very modern, so if you are into cooking, you'll love it there. The bathroom is fully equipped and comfortable. Sound insulation in apartment is perfect so although the road passes only few meters above the house, nothing is heard in it. If you have kids or pets, they will love the garden and when you wish to take a stroll, stone steps in it will lead you down to the lake and its path along the coast. So, if you are coming for a real vacation, you'll love it there, there is simply nothing that might disturb your well deserved peace. If you wish to see some of local history, city of Como is an hour drive from there, or, if you want to discover more nice places, you are short drive away from Switzerland, Lake Lugano and even St. Moritz. For this price, it is tough to get a better deal in such a place! Thank you Alessandro!

Goran2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Perfect ! Holiday last minute well beyond our expectations ... A bright apartment, clean, spacious, modern .. But above all a framework to cut breath! What better than to take his coffee on the balcony above the lake, with the added bonus of a great blue sky all week? Winter calm, beautiful views, private access to the promenade along the lake from the garden .. The space of five days it was believed in a dream! The apartment contains everything you need! (Bathroom with Italian shower, two bedrooms, one with balcony above the lake, large living room with open kitchen, private wifi ...) And what Alessandro who welcomed us with open arms. Without his kindness and valuable advice our stay could not have been the same. We did not know at all the area and did not speak Italian, Alessandro allowed us to discover the nightlife of Como but also the surrounding area, hiking trails, ski resort 1 hour drive, local specialties to taste ... In short, a magical week and images that will long remain in our heads. Whether you are young graduates like us, couple, family, or you decide to enjoy a well-deserved retirement .. On my behalf and that of my two friends, I recommend more than a warm house, be assured, you can go there with eyes closed, you will not be disappointed ...!

In Dervio itself, there are many restaurants and cafes as well as shops and supermarkets.

We had a very pleasant stay and would certainly consider to return. Miki & Angelo welcomed us and were very kind to help solve wifi problems that we encountered.

Fantastic host she was very helpful. We really enjoyed the stay. Beautiful Villa with a great view

Nirav2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

It is a beautiful house on the shore of Lake Como. The perfect place for a summer vacation. House with a large garden. It has everything you need for a good holiday. In bad, windy weather in the house may not be very comfortable with. The hostess is always connected and ready to resolve any issues.

Grigory2016-05-03T00:00:00Z

Michela is a wonderful and generous host who is more than happy to provide assistance any time that it's needed. Villa Miki was the perfect place to stop for some much needed R&R. There was plenty of natural spaces for our boys (10month and 3yrs) to play and explore and Michela allowed them to play with the toys she has on site too. The views from villa Miki are stunning and the gardens are beautiful. Varenna is only 10min drive from villa miki and the ferry goes from there to some of the other towns on the lake. We would recommend a stay at villa miki and highly recommend Michela as a host.

Stephen2015-05-02T00:00:00Z

Brilliant location tha combination of the lake view , mountains and the wood fire made it really unforgettable experience. Being all senior citizens, we found it challenging to step down three floors by the stairs. Necessary to have the car . Bergamo airport is the closest to the property. We wish Miki all the very best .

Very good trip to Como lake at Michela's house. The location is perfect and as magic as it is described on photos. Incredible view, very nice house and everything was well prepared when we arrived. I highly recommend this trip. All the best to you Michela and thank you for everything.

Bertrand2016-02-20T00:00:00Z

Dervio is an amazing place to stay. I didn't know that the booking gave me access to 3 rooms, and 2 bathrooms along with kitchen, main room, and 180 degree panoramic views of the lake. What an amazing deal! We enjoyed every bit of our stay from coordinating with Michela and her responding to all our questions to meeting Mr. Angelo who took care to show us all details of the house. Michela is indeed a super host as she responds within minutes and always eager to help. The house has all amenities that one would need to get away from it all and relax. There is also boat to go out on to the lake but too cold for us in April. I would come back here all the time if I could. It's well enough away from crowds of Como and easy enough to access by car from Milan and airports. Unlike the road to Bellagio from Como, the road to Dervio is wide. The ferry from Varenna also makes it easy to access all points on the Lake. We also wish we had more time to enjoy.

Ajay2016-04-20T00:00:00Z

The house has stunning views over the lake. You feel cut off from the world! The stay is very nice with the fireplace and huge picture window overlooking the terrace! impeccable service. Perfect stay!

We had an unforgettable time at Germano's Villa Mimosa. The lake, landscape and mountain views are breathtaking. The sound of silence, birds and church bells in the distance, the fragrance from the beautiful garden made it uniqur and special. The villa is spacious modern and comfortable... we thought about not leaving!

Denise2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

We had a really great stay at Villa Mimosa. The place is very new with a nice view on the lake and Germano was really helpful. We highly recommend this property.

Margrit2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

The location of this villa is great. You get a spectacular view from the hill and yet are only a short walk down to the lake. It was clean and had everything you would need. All of the family loved it. Germano was wonderful. He was always in easy contact and made us feel very welcome. I wish we could've stayed longer at villa mimosa - it was perfect.

Lou2016-09-27T00:00:00Z

Germano was very accessible to us. He helped us out and made local fare suggestions. The view is even more breathtaking from the balcony! This is a truly peaceful area. You will need a car as there us really nothing to walk to. Be prepared for lots of steps to Mimosa A. These extra steps are truly required after all the great food and wi e from the area! A relaxing, great time was had by all.

Villa Adelina is situated in Sueglio (LC), a small village in Valvarrone, a silent and quiet valley far from the crowd of the town. Its position is strategic for people who like to keep contact with nature, to walk in the woods, to explore the lake of Como and the mountains around it, to work in peace but connected to all world with a power internet connection.
Villa Adelina has a splendid view on the lake of Como , it is very nice and comfortable for family, friends, sports and romantics!

Rezy is a gracious hostess. Your home is beautifully situated 500 meters above Lake Como, to which offers a panoramic ensprechendes. The journey from the lake takes about 15 min. a serpentine winding road. We especially liked the south-facing, covered terrace with wonderful views. The house is very spacious, clean and functional. The kitchen equipment is extensive for a holiday home. However, the kitchen is small and because it is located in the entrance area, the table always stands in the way. In summer you can make it easy outside. We were in the autumn because, needed heating, which worked very well. What we do not like so much: from the sinks in the bathroom streamed an unpleasant odor, which spread in the whole house if you do not shut the door (Geruchssverschlüsse should be revised);. and the wifi that works via the mobile network, was not reliable. Both can be fixed probably slightly.

Even directly after booking Resy and Luciana have any questions fast, friendly and interesting answers. They have ... me Information about tours, restaurants and swimming pools ball. In the house were more information on walks and surroundings. Upon arrival Resy called me to help me with directions. they then welcomed us to the house and explained everything very friendly and helpful. The very nice neighbors brought us several fruit from her garden. We have five people plus dog in Villa Adelina three weeks vacation made. Everything was as described, yet, thought all in all very practically organized. Even wood for the fireplace was present. Us and the children it has exceptionally liked. The place Sueglio is sexy, very quiet. With the exception of the church bell and the under !!!! the house circling Golden Eagle !! almost no noise. The view and the terrace are incredible. Well the best view of all Sueglio. In the third week I asked a hiker from Paris, if I could make from the terrace a picture for him. There are wild boar, deer, lizards, snakes and eagles around the house, for the children always something to discover. Parking and the switchbacks are not a real problem. There is a pizzeria near and a very small, low-cost Supermarket. We would love to go back. Our holiday at Villa Adelina was like a vacation in the house of one's own Family. Thanks again to Resy and Luciana! ps: for very small children the railing of the terrace could be a his problem. A very nice house with garden and tarrace with a fantantic view over Lake Como. With circulating eagles below! Resy met us at the house and was very kind and helpful. The house is well equipped, like the description, and quiet. It was like staying at the home of the own family. So we (five) spent a splendid vacation there for short three weeks. We like to come back. Thanks again to Resy and Luciana! (For very small kids consider the railing)

Thomas2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

To the previous review of Villa Adelina there are almost nothing to add. Also, we were well managed and welcomed into the foyer. Unfortunately, it was this year in the second week of October weather moderately already relatively cool and changeable, but the house has a gas heater and the fireplace we could comfortably make a private "Castganata" in bad weather with collected on a walk to the neighboring village chestnut. We would like to discover come again and even more from Valvarrone. Grazie mille all sorelle Bonelli!

Great little place, slightly isolated but the views and surrounding area is amazing! Would highly recommend but hire a car.. :)

Richard 2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

We loved the stay here at the end of September. the views from Aniko's flat are breathtaking. We had a car so it was fine for us to get up the hill. If you're on foot might be a bit tricky to walk up the hill. We loved the cosy flat, all the directions to the flat were perfect and Aniko was excellent always communicating with us. I would happily return there again!

Hasan2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

A lovely place in a lovely location with stunning views. A nice quiet place in a more Italian area rather than full of tourists. Everyone was very friendly and helpful in the local shops and bars. It was a great place to relax. Menaggio is close by from where you can get to various other places by ferry. We would recommend that you have a car as it makes getting around easier. Lake Como is a great place and we would love to go again, there is so much to see and do. Picking up the key etc was easy and simple and the directions and notes supplied made it easy to find. Without them it would have been much more difficult.

Aniko's and Marco's appartment was great! You have everything you need, it is nice and calm, the view is amazing and we really enjoyed being there. You can find everything you need in the many cupboards. The place is very clean and cosy. The hosts contacted us several times to make sure everything is alright for us. Thus, we definitively recommend to stay there!
